bingewatching will never come close to bingereading. there is nothing like blocking out the entire Earth for ten hours to read a book in one sitting no food no water no shower no bra and emerging at the end with no idea what time it is or where you are, a dried-up prune that's sensitive to light and loud noises because you've been in your room in the dark reading by the glow of a single LED. it's like coming back after a three-month vacation in another dimension and now you have to go downstairs and make dinner. absolutely transcendental

it’s a great time to be a hater, many things are bad and lots of stuff sucks. it’s also a terrible time to be a hater, because many people will insist that you have to like the bad thing because a company spent millions of dollars making it and it’s just not very nice to say it’s bad

i don't seriously ship hesychast and itinerant but its genuinely undeniable that my personal reading is that the believability of their feud comes from how their proximity is bordering, if not outright an example of, homoeroticism. the thick seam of hatred comes from the fact they're both bound inextricably with each other by circumstance and ideology, both agents of empire differing only in perspective but alike in aim. they're complementary in their discordance and share this complete refusal to acknowledge this as reality, engage in this charade of opposition because its continuance is the only way they can meaningfully diverge from the masquerade. do you understand. they cannot admit their camaraderie because its the only way to remain discrete, they cannot take comfort in each other despite being bedfellows in secrecy because to do so would be to be swallowed by their own cause. they have to define each other, have to perform animosity, because it's the only way to define their self

oh fuck *falls back into old habits* *screen fades to black* *level loading* TIP: your belief that you are incapable of changing for the better will become a self fulfilling prophecy if left unchallenged

We are not a government. We are not the eyes, or the ears, or the mind of the Republic. We are parasites. And if we ever cease to benefit that host, the Republic will expunge us. Understand this, my inheritor! If Aurdwynn’s first habit is rebellion, then Falcrest’s first love is revolution. Falcrest, oh Falcrest, she will lobotomize her rulers and rise up crying out from the Suettaring hilltops:

We demand a better form of tyranny!

It will be up to you to devise that better form.

For the more we feed our host Republic, the hungrier it seems to grow.

In our grand successes over the past century we have invented a monster called a middle class. Our predecessors pillaged the Ashen Sea, and now the people are accustomed to receiving that pillage. And they are accustomed to their innocence. If they learn what we do on distant shores to secure their safety and prosperity, I am certain they would hang us all. Not for the crime of what we did, mind! But for the crime of allowing them to know.
